Sustainability and the Built Environment

The Sustainability and the Built Environment Concentration (SBE) focuses on urban planning, design and architecture.
The SBE course plan interrogates the built environment, whether urban, suburban, or rural (and every place in between). It is designed for students seeking a comprehensive curriculum that is focused on how to plan, design, construct and manage communities from a more sustainable perspective. Learn about the latest planning approaches and policy/regulatory requirement; green architecture, sustainable site design and landscapes; renewable energy and energy efficiency; sustainable water resources management; and green infrastructure. Acquire the skills necessary to integrate sustainable design principles into long-range visions and the day-to-day development and management of the built environment.
